Intermittent Fasting – Does It Make You Weaker in the Gym?

1 Dec

It is a Monday morning, just got back from a walk in the cold with my Labrador Lucky. Over the weekend I had some time to catch up on my reading. I decided to motivate myself a little more for my fat loss transformation by rereading Brad Pilon’s Intermittent Fasting Book as it is an integral part of my plan.

One of the cool things I was reminded about fasting is that you can workout while you are doing it. In fact, Brad not only recommends that you workout three times during the week when fasting, but also adds that you can train on days that you fast without problem.

My Story and How I Found about Brad Pilon’s Book

I found out about Brad Pilon’s ebook Eat Stop Eat from Hollywood Look Fitness Expert Rusty Moore from The Fitness Black Book. I had a few weeks before my summer vacation trip and he wrote a post in which he mentioned the book. I decided to get it and was amazed how easy it was to follow the plan. I quickly lost 5-7lbs and kept it off during the vacation even though I ate whatever and whenever I liked there.
